The CLOSE (X ) BUTTON ON THE TITLE BAR PLEASE HELP

[PITBULLCJR]

I know if the person clicks the x it is in the code form_unload but here is the thing when someone clicks the x it only kils that one form I want the rest to be killed too so I put unload all the forms under the form unload like this:
unload form1

but the thing is sometimes in the code i have it so the form unloads because of something else and when that happens it will kill them all when I don't want it to. I remember seeing something liek this maybe..
pirvate sub form_unload()
If vb?????? = true then
unload form1
end if
end sub

does anyone know how to do this?
then

in the form_unload put:

    End

You may want to unload the other forms because using END does not always clear the forms from memory.

I know end ends it. But in my code somewhere else I have this

private sub command1_click()
unload form1
form2.show
end sub

with that there it will end the program cause under the form_unload I had
unload form1
unload form2
unload form3
etc
see what i mean??

I think I got it. Basically, you can't, because the computer doesn't know if the user is clicking the X to get rid of the program, or clicking the X to get rid of the form. You could try making the main form invisible instead of unloading it.

It sounds like you should think about redesigning your project, but if you want a form to close only if the user click the "X", then use this as that form's QueryUnload event.

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)

    Select Case UnloadMode
        Case vbFormControlMenu
            ' The user chose the Close command from the Control menu on the form
'        Case vbFormCode
'            ' The Unload statement is invoked from code.
'        Case vbAppWindows
'            ' The current Microsoft Windows operating environment session
'            ' is ending.
'        Case vbAppTaskManager
'            ' The Microsoft Windows Task Manager is closing the application.
'        Case vbFormMDIForm
'            ' An MDI child form is closing because the MDI form is closing.
'        vbFormOwner
'            ' A form is closing because its owner is closing.
        Case Else
            Cancel = True
    End Select

End Sub

What happens here is that when the user clicks the "X", UnloadMode equals vbFormControlMenu and VB allows the form to unload. Any other value for UnloadMode sets Cancel to True which stops the unload. I left in commented examples of all the other possible form-unload scenarios.
